  • 2014/06: Should There Be Severe Restrictions Placed on Cyclists Sharing
    2014/06: Should there be severe restrictions placed on cyclists sharing ... file:///C:/DPfinal/schools/adocs/doca2014/2014bikes/2014bikes.php 2014/06: Should there be severe restrictions placed on cyclists sharing roads with motorised vehicles? What they said... 'Bicycles reduce traffic congestion because they use road space more efficiently than cars' The Greens Bicycle Action Plan for Victoria 'A bit like smoking, if the idea of riding bicycles on the open road was invented today, it would be banned' Michael Pascoe, contributing editor to The Sydney Morning Herald The issue at a glance On January 1, 2014, it was announced that despite record low fatality rates across the country for motorists, 2013 had seen record high rates for the number of cyclists being killed. This apparent anomaly has led commentators, lobby groups and various state governments to consider a variety of measures to increase cyclists' safety. On January 17, 2014, Michael Pascoe, a contributing editor to The Sydney Morning Herald proposed that Australian governments might 'extend the culture of enforced safety to greater regulation of where and when people are allowed to cycle'. The idea that severe restrictions be placed on when and where cyclists can cycle is not new. Former New South Wales Roads Minister, Carl Scully, stated in 2009, 'I believed riding a bike on a road was profoundly unsafe and that where I could I would shift them [cyclists] to off road cycle ways.' Such a proposal has been welcomed by many motorists and some cyclists; however, it has been rejected by others as unduly limiting, unfeasible and too expensive.

We announced that service excellence was at the heart of our strategy. We were determined to strengthen our engagement with Passengers and Drivers and honour our mission of supporting Taxi Networks throughout Australia. True to those statements we have gone on to deliver growth. During FY18, Payment turnover grew by 4.5%, revenue grew by 22%, affiliated fleet grew by 28%, and downloads of the 13cabs app grew by 74%. Investments in technology and marketing are powering our growth. Our Company is now strengthened by the additions of Yellow Cabs Queensland and Mobile Technologies International (MTI). Our strategies and acquisitions are being executed in a manner that preserves a strong and flexible balance sheet, and our Company is once again in a net cash position as we stand here today. Fleet growth has continued in Victoria and we have recently expanded our Bureau Services to Taxi Networks in the Blue Mountains, Tamworth and Coffs Harbour. Growth in Victoria and Bureau Services is more than offsetting the impact of the regulations suppressing industry expansion in New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.
